The Ready.Set.Go! toolkit is available to help address and connect the critical processes that take place between admission planning, bedside rounding and discharge planning. This toolkit can help reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient outcomes.
Hospital readmissions are a major problem in the healthcare industry, with patients often returning to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. This can lead
to increased healthcare costs, longer hospital stays and a decrease in patient satisfaction.
The Ready. Set. Go! toolkit is designed to help bridge the gap between admission, rounding and discharge by providing guidance on how to streamline these processes and improve patient outcomes. The toolkit includes key insights into the three processes and 5 embedded tools to enhance current processes at the hospital.
The toolkit includes implementation guidance to support hospitals ready to take action using “Ready, Set, Go!”. The guidance includes step-by-step instructions on how to implement the tools, as well as tips and strategies for making the most of the resource.
The Ready. Set. Go! Tool was developed through an iterative process informed by a diverse group of
patient family partners, Cynosure Improvement Advisors, State Hospital Association partners and hospital
staff for the Cynosure HQIC.
